The delicious Maple Dijon Vinaigrette used to coat the green beans takes only 2 minutes to prep and promises to take this dish to whole new levels.

Ingredients
- 1 & 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- pinch red pepper flakes, to taste
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup (you can add an additional teaspoon for more flavor)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground peppercorn (about 10 turns)
- 1/3 cup chopped almonds (optional: walnuts)
- 1/4 teaspoon virgin coconut oil
- 1/4 cup feta
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
- Clean and trim off the ends of the green beans.
- In a small bowl, mix the maple dressing ingredients together and set aside.
- Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add nuts. Stir constantly for approximately 3-5 minutes (less time if your nuts are finely chopped) until the nuts are evenly coated in the coconut oil and are toasted. It’s important to stir constantly or the nuts will burn. Remove nuts from heat and set aside.
- Spread the beans out evenly on a baking sheet. Drizzle Maple Dijon Vinaigrette on green beans and toss to coat evenly. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove beans from oven. Add crushed red pepper and garlic. Stir beans to coat evenly. Bake the beans an additional 5 minutes or until they reach desired crispness/tenderness.
- Remove beans from oven. Garnish with almonds and feta. Serve and enjoy!
